Before Joe Douglas can focus on who he plans on targeting in free agency come March, he’ll have a handful of in-house decisions to make.
The Jets have 25 players set to hit the open market this offseason.

Either way, Douglas has a lot of work to do to put together a competitive roster for Robert Saleh.

Adam Gase’s usage of the 37-year-old in what was his least-productive season in the NFL drew the ire of many, but Gore stayed within himself throughout the year, grinding away on a weekly basis and serving as an invaluable locker room presence.
Gore has indicated he wants to play a 17th season. Should it be with the Jets? Let’s evaluate the situation in Jets Wire’s latest free agent profile.
